Poster - The Anarchists of Chicago

The Anarchists of Chicago by Walter Crane, 1894. Commemorating the anarchists persecuted following the Haymarket Affair in Chicago in 1886 during the struggle for the eight hour work day.

Walter Crane (1845 – 1915) was an internationally renowned illustrator and artist in the late 19th Century and early 20th with a clearly recognisable style. An associate of William Morris, he was a part of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Much of Walter Crane's work was illustrating children’s books but he was an active radical socialist, a member of the Socialist League, and produced many pictures supporting the international socialist and anarchist movements, notably cartoons printed in Justice, Commonweal and The Clarion.

Because of it's age, size, and fine detail, Walter Crane artwork is difficult to reproduce to a high standard. We feel we have made good quality prints. The size is A3 (approx. 11.7" x 16.5") and is printed on good quality 170gm poster paper.
